[Verse 1] Born into the cold No hand to pull me close I learned to wrap my arms Around whatever wouldn't go Found a piece of borrowed warmth Something soft to hold the dark When the mountain wind came howling I pressed it to my heart [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it's not real But it's here, and that's enough [Chorus] Something soft in a cold, cold world Something mine when nobody holds me I'll take the quiet, I'll take the weight Something soft, and I'll be okay [Verse 2] They say pretending's not the same That the stitches can't feel pain But they don't know what it means to ache For warmth that never came I spent my nights invisible Holding tight to what I found The one who stayed beside me When the rest had turned around [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it's not love But it's soft, and that's enough [Chorus] Something soft in a cold, cold world Something mine when nobody holds me I'll take the quiet, I'll take the weight Something soft, and I'll be okay [Bridge] Then you reached for me Not what I was made to find These arms don't need the stitches They chose me every time Now I finally know The difference I couldn't tell Between holding on and being held [Final Chorus] Something real when the cold lets go Someone chose me, now I finally know What it means to belong, to not be afraid Finally held, finally safe [Outro] Something soft... [whispered] Finally safe
